Language is a co-ordinated system of arbitrary phonic symbols so that translation is an exchange of one set of symbols for another set keeping the contained message intact. The prime concern in translation is the high fidelity to the message without distortion, addition or subtraction. Translation, as Casagrande (1953) puts it, is the most complex art yet produced in the evolution of cosmos. Catford (1965) opines that translation is that in which the replacement of textual material from one language by an equivalent textual material in another language is made. Nida and Taber (1969) are of the view that translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest equivalence of the source language in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. Broadly speaking translation deals with that aspect of the language in which a message given in any particular language is transferred into another language. It aims at giving the communication form one language into another. A communication or message consists of many elements drawn from that language. It has an external representation in the form of words knit together by the internal system, i.e., grammar. Translation involves adjustments in different levels such as grammatical, lexical, semantic and cultural levels. No two languages exhibit identity in these areas. These differences create difficulties for the translator. He has to perform a balancing act between the unequal grammatical, lexical, semantic and cultural features of the donor language and the receptor language. Every level exhibits its own problems. Adjustments in these different levels are essential in order to reflect the ‘feel’ of the original message in the translated text. Nature of Translation Studies The term ‘translation’ is the neutral term used for all tasks where the meaning of expressions in one language is turned into the meaning of another, whether the medium is spoken, written or signed. The first language is known as source language and the second language is known as the target language: In specific professional contexts, however a distinction is drawn between people who work with the spoken or signed language (interpreters) and those who work with the written language (translators). As the essence of translation lies in the preservation of the three aspects of meaning viz. the aspect, the pragmatic aspect and the textual aspect across two different languages. House (1977:1-30) considers translation as the replacement of the text in the source language by a semantically and pragmatically equivalent text in the target language.Translators not only need to know their source language well; they must also have a thorough understanding of the field of knowledge covered by the source text, and of any social, cultural or emotional connotations that need to be specified in the target language if the intended effect is to be conveyed. Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (2010) defines the terms ‘translate’ and ‘translation’ as follows: 3 Translate: 1. To express the meaning of speech or writing in a different language, (e.g.) He translated the letter into English. 2. To change one language to another. 3. To change something, or to be changed, into a different form. E.g. It’s time to translate words into action. 4. To understand something in a particular way or give something a particular meaning. E.g. The various words and gestures that we translate as love. Translation: 1. Translation refers to the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language. E.g. He specializes in translation from Danish into English. 2. Translation may also refer to a text or work that has been changed from one language into another. E.g. Copy of Dryden’s translation of the Aeneid. 3. Translation also refers to the process of changing something into a different form. E.g. The translation of theory into practice. The dictionary also says that ‘trans-’ is added to other words to make words not only with the meaning ‘across’ ‘beyond’ as in ‘transatlantic’, ‘transcontinental’ but also with the meaning ‘into another place or state’ as in ‘transplant’ ‘transform’ etc. Etymologically, it is related to ‘transfer’ Transliteration is the process of writing words or letters using letters of a different alphabet or language. Transcription is the act or process of representing something in a

  • “Daoism and Confucianism” In: Liu X. (Eds) Dao Companion to Daoist Philosophy
    Lai Karyn. (2015) “Daoism and Confucianism” In: Liu X. (eds) Dao Companion to Daoist Philosophy. Dao Companions to Chinese Philosophy, vol 6. Springer, Dordrecht, pp. 489-511. This is the post-print version. The definitive version is to be found at: https://link-springer- com.wwwproxy1.library.unsw.edu.au/chapter/10.1007/978-90- 481-2927-0_21 This chapter relies on a distinction between Confucianism and Daoism made during the Han dynasty (漢朝: 206 BCE–220 CE) and further perpetuated in Chinese intellectual history. It examines the connections between pre-Qin (秦朝: 221– 206 BCE) Daoist and Confucian philosophies, focusing on their differences as well as similarities. While it has been traditionally accepted that there are many tensions, and even antagonism, between concepts and approaches in Daoist and Confucian thought, the discussion here also focuses on the historical linkages and philosophical continuities that at times blur the distinction between the two. The primary comparison here will be conducted at three levels: the individual within its environment, the socio-political world, and the cultivation of the self. These three levels of analysis are organized in three sections, from the more inclusive to the more specific. However, the sections are only theoretical divisions, since both Daoist and Confucian philosophies emphasize a concept of selfhood that focuses on an individual’s relationships with others, within a larger natural and cosmic environment. To more fully understand these comparisons, it is important also to examine the intellectual climate within which interactions between so- called Daoism and Confucianism took place. These details, including information gleaned from relatively recently discovered texts, are not merely tangential to our understanding of both philosophies.

  • Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XVII (2015) 10.12797/CIS.17.2015.17.04 Nicola Pozza [email protected] (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature Summary: The Himalayan setting—especially present-day Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—has fascinated many a writer in India. Journeys, wanderings, and sojourns in the Himalaya by Hindi authors have resulted in many travelogues, as well as in some emblematic short stories of modern Hindi literature. If the environment of the Himalaya and its hill stations has inspired the plot of several fictional writ- ings, the description of the life and traditions of its inhabitants has not been the main focus of these stories. Rather, the Himalayan setting has primarily been used as a nar- rative device to explore and contest the relationship between the mountain world and the intrusive presence of the external world (primarily British colonialism, but also patriarchal Hindu society). Moreover, and despite the anti-conformist approach of the writers selected for this paper (Agyeya, Mohan Rakesh, Nirmal Verma and Krishna Sobti), what mainly emerges from an analysis of their stories is that the Himalayan setting, no matter the way it is described, remains first and foremost a lasting topos for renunciation and liberation. KEYWORDS: Himalaya, Hindi, fiction, wandering, colonialism, modernity, renunci- ation, Agyeya, Nirmal Verma, Mohan Rakesh, Krishna Sobti. Introduction: Himalaya at a glance The Himalaya has been a place of fascination for non-residents since time immemorial and has attracted travellers, monks and pilgrims and itinerant merchants from all over Asia and Europe.

My goal is to examine how early Daoism’s founder, Laozi, and the Christian bishop, Augustine of Hippo, characterize the fulfillment of humanity through religious transformation. My argument is that the metaphysical speculations that figure in their works---and which scholarly readers often emphasize---are offshoots of profound practical, soteriological concerns. These soteriological concerns reveal that the primary interest for both writers was to discover those spiritual and intellectual practices that could most effectively mediate between human experience and the manifestation of transcendent order. This study takes its inspiration from pioneering instances of comparative theology (particularly works by Francis Clooney S.J.

  • Cops Divert and “Soft” Cops Charge: Trait Attitudes Vs
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WHEN “TOUGH” COPS DIVERT AND “SOFT” COPS CHARGE: TRAIT ATTITUDES VS. STATE SITUATIONAL NARRATIVES IN A FOCAL CONCERNS PROCESS OF POLICE DECISION-MAKING Molly P. Slothower, Doctor of Philosophy, 2019 Dissertation directed by: Distinguished Professor Dr. Lawrence Sherman, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland Research Question Do police officers’ overall “tough” or “soft” attitudes toward crime and defendants determine how they handle discretionary cases, or does each officer look at the elements in each case to see whether they should act “tough” or “soft” in the given situation? This study tests whether police decisions to divert cases from prosecution into diversionary out-of-court disposals are driven by “trait attitudes”—each officer’s overall “tough” or “soft” attitudes toward defendants, which are stable characteristics of each officer regardless of the situation—versus officers’ “state attitudes”—their narratives about the meaning of specific elements present in each case as they make decisions. Methods Thirty-four officers in a large urban force completed attitudinal surveys and 20 case study vignettes. For each vignette, officers recorded: each relevant element (e.g. criminal history, alcohol involvement); whether each element pushed them toward prosecution or diversion, and why; and whether they would prosecute or divert the case. Officers recorded 2,241 elements across 645 case responses. Using primarily hierarchical logistic regression models, this study tests the impact of trait attitudes versus state narratives on recommended case outcomes. Results Officer decision-making was more influenced by officers’ interpretations of whether elements signaled each defendant was “reformable” or “incorrigible” than by their overall “tough” or “soft” attitudes.

Despite the importance of sentencing, there is little knowledge of how exactly Sheriffs deal with cases. In particular, little is known about why and in which cases they decide that a custodial sentence is appropriate in the context of summary court proceedings. This research aims to understand the rationales behind the Sheriffs’ sentencing practice and, through this exploration, tries to examine how Sheriffs currently understand their role as sentencers.

COPYRIGHT FIMT 2020 Page 1 BA ENGLISH (HON) SEM IV PAPER CODE 202 LITERARY CRITICISM Q1. What are Aristotle's views on mimesis? Ans: Mimesis is a Greek term that means imitation. The first step in understanding Aristotle's account of mimesis is remembering that he spent many years studying at Plato's Academy. In Platonic thought, the things we encounter via our senses, the phenomena, are imitations of ideal forms. Art (whether poetry or painting), in imitating the phenomena, is thus merely an imitation of an imitation. Plato also divides imitation by medium (words, paint, marble, etc.). He further divides the verbal techniques of imitation into pure imitation or mimesis, in which an actor impersonates a character on stage, and diegesis, or narration, in which a narrator speaks in the third person about events. Epic is a mixed form, using both impersonation and narration when performed by a rhapsode. Plato tends to condemn imitation as degrading, because (1) impersonation can inculcate bad or non-rational habits and (2) because it focuses attention on mere phenomena. Aristotle accepts the Platonic distinction between mimesis and diegesis, but finds both valuable as modes of training and educating emotions.

  • Newton Vs. Leibniz: Intransparency Vs. Inconsistency
    Newton vs. Leibniz: Intransparency vs. Inconsistency Karin Verelst Vrije Universiteit Brussel1 [email protected] The only way to avoid becoming a metaphysician is to say nothing E.A. Burtt Abstract Introduction The early modern debates on the nature of space enjoy a renewed interest in the recent philosophical literature. Focal points of the discussion are the opposition between the “absolute” vs. the “relational ” conception of space and the related issue of its presumed substantival nature. Quintessential formulations of the key positions in the debate remain the viewpoints attributed to Newton and Leib- niz. But scholarly disagreement concerning them remains stark. Especially with respect to Newton the defended interpretations range from anti-metaphysical readings (based on the notorious “I do not feign hypotheses”) to at first glance almost theological readings that have him speculate about the relation between God and world. Leibniz, on the other hand, is presented as Newton’s counter- part, who sets out tackling mechanical problems with an a priori metaphysical scheme — inherited from Descartes — already laid out in his mind. But Newton arXiv:1203.2292v1 [physics.hist-ph] 10 Mar 2012 clearly conceived of himself as a natural philosopher [52, p. 2], while Leibniz, certainly in his earlier years, would have insisted on his use of strictly mechanical concepts only [10, Introduction]. We believe that, in order to be able to judge on the “metaphysical degree” of the positions taken by our protagonists, we should understand more clearly what metaphysics itself is about. This question is often ignored. We shall show 1FUND-CLEA, Dept. of Mathematics.
